25 years ago I met with polar explorer Robert Swann who was touring/lecturing and trying to get people to listen re: catastrophic climate change along with pollution poisoning the Arctic food chain (Inuit mothers poisoning their babies with PCBs, heavy metals, etc in their breast milk). Governments didn't listen then and they are not listening now - they see rising temperatures as an opportunity to exploit Arctic hydrocarbons. Sweden will do OK, they'll be able to grow for palm oil!!

About Me

In early 1982 I boarded a Turkish Kibris flight to Izmir - my destination was a 29 foot sloop in Bodrum's new marina. At 22, my belongings fitted into a worse for wear sailing holdall. In 2012 I made a similar journey from Heathrow to Bodrum. Thirty years have passed and Bodrum has changed. There are plenty of very good blogs detailing the ex-pat journey through modern Turkey. The aim of this one is to catch sight of past Turkey through my experience of re-settling in modern Bodrum.
